Fudan University School of Life Sciences, founded in 1986, is the earliest school of life sciences in China. It consists of the Department of Genetics and Genetic Engineering, the Department of Biochemistry, the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, the Department of Physiology and Biophysics, the Department of Microbiology and Microbial Engineering, the Institute of Genetics, the State Key Laboratory of the Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology, as well as the Research and Development Center for Plant Gene Chips, the Institute of Biodiversity Science, the Agricultural Research Center for Genetic Diversity and Design, and the Natural Medicine Research Center. At present, there are nearly 200 faculty members, including 37 professors, 43 associate professors, academician of China Academy of Sciences 1 person, 2 distinguished professor (chair professor) from the Ministry of Education, 4 distinguished professor from Fudan University and 33 doctoral supervisors.
Since 1999, the college has obtained the first-class doctoral degree in biological science. At present, there are 9 doctoral programs in botany, zoology, genetics, microbiology, neurobiology, biophysics, biochemistry and molecular biology, developmental biology and ecology, and 2 doctoral programs in human biology and bioinformatics. Botany, zoology, genetics, microbiology, neurobiology, biophysics, developmental biology, ecology, biochemistry and molecular biology, human biology, bioinformatics, cell biology and other disciplines have 12 master programs; At the same time, there is also a postdoctoral mobile station in biology; The undergraduate course enrolls two majors: biological science and biotechnology. The first batch became the "Training Base for Basic Biology Research and Teaching Talents" and "Training Base for Life Science and Biotechnology Talents" of the State Education Commission. At present, there are more than 200 students/kloc-0. In recent years, the ratio of graduate students to undergraduates has reached 1: 1. The college offers courses according to the development of disciplines and social needs, puts forward the teaching concept of "broad caliber, strong foundation, emphasis on ability and innovation", implements various teaching modes, offers nearly 300 courses of various types, and trains a large number of outstanding students. The college encourages students to participate in scientific research activities. In recent years, he has won the National Excellent Doctoral Dissertation Award for 4 times, the National University Challenge Cup Special Prize and the First Prize for 4 times.
College is composed of State Key Laboratory of Genetic Engineering, Key Laboratory of Biodiversity and Ecological Engineering and Key Laboratory of Modern Anthropology. The college has two national key disciplines, genetics and ecology, and participates in the construction of national key disciplines such as neurobiology, pathogenic biology and physiology. Genetics is listed as the "2 1 1 project" of the Ministry of Education and the "top priority" of the "985 project" of Fudan University, and biophysics and ecology are listed as the key disciplines of the school.
In 2006, he applied for the general project of National Natural Science Foundation 18. The amount of scientific research funds received is 23 1.48 million yuan. * * * 222 SCI papers were published, including 169 SCI papers with Fudan University as the first unit, with an average impact factor of 2.353. In recent years, it has won many national "863" projects, "863" soft projects and "973" sub-projects, more than 30 national, provincial and ministerial awards such as new drug certificates and clinical approvals 10, and the second prize of national scientific and technological inventions.
